Steps
- Stand in a doorway, forearm on the frame, elbow slightly ABOVE shoulder height.
- Step the same-side foot through and gently turn your chest away.
- Think "shoulder blade back and down into the opposite back pocket".
- Feel the stretch high on the chest, just below the collarbone near the shoulder.
Cues
- Do not let the shoulder roll forward
- Breathe slowly, no bouncing
Caution. Stop if you get tingling or numbness into the arm or hand.
